2 months after the fox took our last batch of chickens, I have re-turfed the compound and the grass is lovely and in need of a trim... so i got in a new batch of 4 - this lot are only 14 weeks old, and comparitively like babies... the last last lot were noisy and independent... this lot are scaredy and stick together. I'm guessing the one one most often at the front of the group will become the leader and top of the pecking order?

They have no idea about how to be a proper chicken yet... they huddle in a corner instead of roosting... they are just having a go at scratching, and eating grass. they've got the hang of pooing though

fascinating stuff... its good to have chickens again even if I'll have to wait a month or two for eggs
